Kenny Murdo's Kiss pictures
« on: May 29, 2009, 01:02:10 PM »
Ken those were awesome ! Yes of course we want to see Gene ! I wish I had a camera at the early KISS gig I went to but I still have the T shirt ! As I recall it cost about twice as much as the tickets for the show !

Any old pics of KISS are cool by me. Certainly better than any new ones...   ;)

I saw Kiss on their very first Chicago appearance.  They were at the local high school, and there were no fire marshalls present.  We got the full show.  Tickets were a mere $4.  By the end of the show, the gym floor was destroyed, and it had to be replaced.  Opening was Rush, who were actually pretty awful.

Reposting Ken's pics. He did say he had some of Gene too.

That'll teach me... more scanning and will comply...  ;D

If there are specific images anybody wants, just send word and I'll e a bigger shot once they are cleaned up - I don't have any fancy software, but it does enough for me...

These shots show the band that turned me into an obsessive fan as an eleven year old. I love these shots!

Nice shots!

Are those folded horns behind him?  For some reason I always thought he used the standard Ampeg 8x10s

Those and similar cabs were pretty popular in the seventies to generate the sublows regular cabs could not provide at the time. Roger Glover got his thunderous lows with Martin bins.

Bass amplification has gone quite some way. These days, even small rigs can deliver bladder-stirring sublows.

I own a Punisher and the J pup on it is almost like an afterthought. Simmons never needed one, but got talked into adding one on the marketed model to add a little value for money. The output of that EMG J pup even though active is laughably low compared to the split coil. Put both on and you have lowered punch and volume with a faint click. Not a great mix, less is sometimes more.

Okay I get the message.

But since there was a question asked about Gene's Amplification I chimed in. I found a 1978 Guitarplayer interview with Gene where he said that his backline consisted of Sunn Colloseum heads and cabs.
